You're forgetting two absolutely massive and completely endemic plastic vectors:
1. Car tires.
2. And literally all clothes that aren't natural fibers. Which is a huge, absolutely huge percentage.
Neither of these get any better by preventing littering. Driving and clothes washing and drying is spewing your plastic mist into the air 24 hours a day.
